Description
LOST: This morning around 9:15 a.m., I was walking north from the Tate Student Center toward downtown Athens when my document holders slipped from my tote on a breezy stretch near the Arch at UGA. Inside are a stack of deadlines, a few receipts, and a color-coded folder with my name on it. I’ve walked Baxter Street and the square again today, hoping they’ll turn up, but nothing yet. Those papers matter to me for work and school, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you saw them on the way to campus, please think of returning them to the site.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
